Sidewalk FAQs

Will the City remove a tree that is damaging my sidewalk?

Every effort will be made to preserve trees. To avoid cutting tree roots or removing trees, the slab replacement may require a change in the sidewalk alignment.

The City of Oregon Tree Commission will be consulted regarding the useful life of some street trees in the right of way. Street trees in the right of way that are deemed unhealthy or potentially hazardous by the City of Oregon Tree Commission will be removed and replaced with a new tree suitable for the location.

The removal and replacement of any trees outside the right of way shall be at the property owner’s discretion and cost.
